11 Miles today

Loaded up the fuel belt w/ accelerade, gel, ipod and my cell phone... felt like it weighed 10 pds...
hopefully I can run with this thing today I thought.. we'll see.
Headed to Washington Park and pulled in at 6:05 a.m.. There was absolutely no one around and it felt a little creepy. So I sat in my car debating wether or not I wanted to run in the park and decided to go across chatham road to Parkview and start from there. The park was just too eery this morning and I wasn't feeling good about it.

Headed out from Parkview to Lawerence to Washington to Chatham rd and back to the park for a little over 4 miles. It was a little more hilly than I expected and my legs were feeling it by the time I got to washington park. Kathy and Patti were there and there was a little more activity going on.. We all headed back out of the park and did 5 miles toward TGI Fridays..About the 1/2 way point, we stopped for a walk. THANK GOODNESS THEY WANTED TO WALK!! :-) :-) :-)
Told ya Kathy!! ha Those 5 miles weren't too bad.. the talking and laughing we all do helps those miles go by... when we got back to the park, Kathy and Patti were done but I had 2 more miles to do. I headed out onto South Grand and headed east! . Why, I have no idea. My car was in the opposite direction. I always say I get delirious while running, and I guess I was living up to that label!! Turned around and headed back the right way.. and finished up the final 2. The last mile was bad ... got a side stitch... Haven't had one in a long time so I'm not sure where it came from. Oh, maybe it was the steak n shake chilli for lunch yesterday.. blah.. Finally that last mile was done and I sort of limped back to the car due to the side stitch. Glad that didn't happen early on!! It was gone in a flash, but dang that hurt! The fuel belt worked fine, bouncy at first but probably from the overload of 'gear' I had. Also wondering if the pocket goes in the back or front... or if it even matters. To me it's more convenient for the pocket to be in front and that way the bottles are all toward the front.. guess that's the way I'll leave it..
Overall a decent run.. Glad I've got my running buds to keep me company in those middle miles!!
